[Funding Source (for maintenance of bridges): Fund 175, Transportation Trust Fund, Account 210402/54601] |
| BACKGROUND: |
Bridge Number 484052, located on Bluff Springs Road over Pritchett Mill Creek in Escambia County, which is not on the State Highway System, will be replaced by FDOT in Fiscal Years 2017 and 2018.
According to FDOT criteria, this bridge has reached a level of deterioration which warrants replacement, and is on the list for FDOT's 5-Year Work Plan. Meeting in regular session on February 19, 2015, the Board approved the Off-System Agreement between Escambia County and FDOT related to the replacement and maintenance of Bluff Springs Road over Pritchett Mill Creek. The Board's adoption of this Resolution is necessary for the temporary closure of Bluff Springs Road during the completion of the bridge replacement project in Fiscal Years 2017 and 2018, for a duration of approximately 150 days, without requiring traffic detours. Traffic detours will not be required since the land is owned by North West Florida Water Management District (NWFWMD), they have agreed to the road closure, and the road is a low traffic volume route to their wildlife management area. Upon FDOT's completion of the bridge structure, Escambia County will be responsible for maintenance of this bridge. |
| BUDGETARY IMPACT: |
| All construction work will be performed by FDOT. Bridge maintenance funds are available in Fund 175 “Transportation Trust Fund”, Account 210402/54601. |
| LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS/SIGN-OFF: |
| Stephen West, Senior Assistant County Attorney, reviewed and approved the Resolution as to form and legal sufficiency. |
| PERSONNEL: |
| All construction work will be performed by FDOT. Existing County staff will coordinate with FDOT personnel as necessary. |
| POLICY/REQUIREMENT FOR BOARD ACTION: |
| Upon the Board's adoption and the Chairman's or Vice-Chairman's execution of the Resolution, a copy will be forwarded to FDOT for their records. |
| IMPLEMENTATION/COORDINATION: |
| Construction plans are available for review (by authorized personnel only) by contacting James Duncan or Liz Bush, Engineering Division, at the Escambia County Central Office Complex. All bridge replacement work will be coordinated by FDOT. |
